Reflash x5+

The X5+ comes in two variants.  The w616 and w618 versions.  I also bricked my watch when I unknowingly flashed the w616 firmware onto my w618 watch.  After locating and re-flashing the w618 firmware I’m up and running again.

Pablo seems to have removed the w618 flash. Here’s another link for it: drive.google.com/file/d/0B3xyOuab2f-OaGo5Sm5ZUDNfZTQ/view?usp=sharing

I haven't noticed any unusual battery drain but then I haven't really checked for it either.  My primary goal was to un-brick my watch and I was successful.  There's an OTA update that I need to apply now after un-bricking that probably addresses the battery drain you mentioned.  I haven't yet applied that update.

Check please if even with Bluetooth disabled you can see on your phone a device WATCH-NC … so this Bluetooth always on will drain battery! Thanks

I'm not seeing any unusual battery drain with WATCH-NC maybe because I don't have a SIM card installed.  Several people have mentioned that the battery drains much quicker with their SIM cards inserted.

Thanks

Thanks,
Is not working,is not start with this firmware.

It finished flashing as it should, or? Did the watch turn on with the old firmware? Do you get any reaction when you try to turn it on or is it no reaction at all?

The watch is new,I flash a wrong firmware model W1616.Is flash as it should with this rom w618_wgl.x5plus_ddr3.common.80.emmc.w.s.170327,no reaction,no start.
Any option?

Error SP Flash Enable_Dram_Fail

Did you get that error now while flashing the w618 firmware? If that’s the case, make sure you try both the “firmware upgrade” option and the “download only” option

Error in all option.doawnload or firmware.

you could try this firmware as well and see if it helps:


you are sure that your watch is the w618 version and not the w616 version?

Is not working DRAM Error.

on the morherboard write w618
